Lightning Sign Justin Fletcher

Also in today's St. Pete Times, Damian Crisdotero breaks down the Lightning system by NHL readiness. One surprise on the list: defenseman Justin Fletcher from St. Cloud State who played well during an ATO stint with the Springfield Falcons at the end of last season. According to Crisdotero, Fletcher has signed a one year deal with the Lightning organization.

There have also been rumors that the Lightning are interested in bringing Falcons tryout forward Jacob Micflikier into the fold in Norfolk as well, although nothing substantial has surfaced as of yet.

Egener is conspiciously absent from that list. Damian must not have gotten an indication from any of the Lightning brass that he's still in the picture. It was a minor surprise (although I personally like some of the things he shows) to see Brandon Elliot on the chart.
